Song Ci returned home with the script. She made herself a cup of strong coffee and moved the lazy sofa next to the French window. After completing the ceremony, Song Ci sat on the sofa, holding the coffee in one hand, and began to read the script.
The script is in pure English and Song Ci can understand it.
The script is two fingers thick, and Song Ci has to calm down to read it carefully.
Coleman's mother, Vivian, discovered that he was autistic when he was two and a half years old. It was the end of World War II, and the global economy was still struggling to recover. Her husband disagreed with her spending so much time and money on Coleman that he advocated for having another child.
But Vivian couldn't bear to give up Coleman so cruelly. After several communications with her husband, the couple decided to divorce.
Vivian continued to take care of the autistic child, while Coleman's father remarried and had a happy new family.
Vivian is a female shoemaker who raises her autistic son Zhenghuo alone. She takes care of her child while running a shoe store. Her business is good and she makes a decent living.
When Coleman was four years old, Vivian accidentally discovered that Coleman had great talent in piano. Vivian made a bold decision and decided to send Coleman to learn piano!
Learning piano was an extremely expensive art in that era, and it was a high-end instrument that only rich people could afford. It is conceivable how hard Vivi worked to train Coleman.
For Coleman, Vivian never remarried. She is a strong and great mother who deserves everyone's respect.
The script is a story edited and condensed by the editor through Vivian's diary. Song Ci only reads this story as a bystander, and can also feel the helplessness and sadness of a normal person when facing an autistic patient.
She didn't dare to think too deeply about how much pain and struggle Vivian had gone through while taking care of Coleman all her life.
Song Ci spent the entire afternoon and dinner reading the story, and afterward, she felt a sense of loss. Not only was Coleman autistic from birth, he was abandoned by his father as a child, and in middle age he lost his first love.
Why is Coleman, who is so kind and excellent, always full of regrets in his life?
After reading the entire script, Song Ci still had no clear impression of Coleman's first love, Rain. She only knew that Rain was twenty years younger than Coleman and that they met at a concert when Rain was only 19 years old.
Rain is the younger sister of the orchestra's pianist Lime. She is very talkative, has a clear voice, and laughs like a silver bell, just like an oriole.
Coleman, living in his own world, was also drawn to Rain's laughter. In his spare time when he wasn't playing the piano, he would occasionally secretly pay attention to her. Watching her laugh and her playfulness, he felt that the world was quite interesting.
The young and lively Rain loved to play pranks on others. Once, when Coleman came to rehearse with the orchestra, Rain secretly pasted a smiley face on his music sheet. When Coleman finished playing and closed the music sheet, he discovered the smiley face on the first page of the sheet music.
He stared at the smiling face and smiled unconsciously.
After the rehearsal, Kleinman secretly took the smiley face with him when he left. After that, he placed the smiley face on the piano at every performance. From then on, the smiley face became Kleinman's lucky charm.
Coleman went to the orchestra more and more often. Sometimes when he went, he would just sit quietly in the audience and watch Rain rehearsing on the stage.
Rain noticed Coleman's attention to him.
Once, Coleman passed by the tree and saw Rain sitting on a branch, swinging her white legs. He stared at Rain and felt that she was like a little bird that would fall from the sky at any time and be broken into pieces.
After thinking for a while, Coleman walked silently to the tree and stood there quietly, like a guardian angel.
Suddenly, Rain called him. "Colleman."
Kleiman stared at the ants on the ground without looking up.
Rain suddenly said, "I'm going to jump, you have to catch me."
Coleman then looked up and stared at the girl who was as bright as spring. He said nothing, but slowly raised his arms.
Rain leaped down from the tree and landed steadily in Coleman's arms. The forty-year-old man hugged the nineteen-year-old girl, as if embracing the sunshine of the world.
Rain put her arms around Coleman's neck and said, "Colleman, you must have never been kissed."
Coleman nodded, "Yes, no."
Rain jumped to the ground with both feet. She looked up at Coleman and said with a smile: "Colleman, I want to kiss you."
Kleinman: "You can."
Then they kissed.
Throughout the play, whenever Rain appears, Coleman is in a joyful mood, and his eyes can always find Rain's shadow. Song Ci can feel Coleman's love for Rain through the descriptions between the lines, so pure, without a trace of filth.
Later, Rain was on a cruise with his brother Lime when the cruise ship sank. Only his brother Lime survived, while Rain disappeared in the ocean. Some said Rain was dead, while others said he must still be alive somewhere in this world.
Coleman refused to believe that Rain was dead. He waited for Rain without crying or making a fuss for thirty-five years, carrying his love and expectation for Rain. Rain only appeared in Coleman's life for a year, but lived in his heart for a lifetime.
Song Ci felt sorry for the ending of the lovers.
